That site will tell you what exactly the ribbons mean, the top one is a purple heart, the bottom left is a national defense medal. the next one is a vietnam service medal, the last one is a REPUBLIC OF VIETNAM CAMPAIGN MEDAL. the medal that is a cross is a marksmanship medal. im not sure about the other 2 medals.

Did they belong to a relative? The Purple Heart and the two Combat Medical metals really are heroic. There are a lot of people who owe their lives to the medics who were assigned to their units in Vietnam( or any other hostal location).

They belonged to my Dad. I was told he got sent home after being shot twice during the war.

Your father was a hero, the way the vets got treated after returning home taught this country a hell of a lot. I personally can see the lessons learned from mistakes made in the Vietnam era, by the government. Your father was obviosly one hell of a Soldier. Dave
